Current Use
The Welland House re-opened in 1994 as a restaurant (Average Joe's) and student residence. Although Average Joe's has since closed, the Welland House remains a student residence. Known as the "Downtown Student Residence", or DSR, many of the residents are students attending Brock University or Niagara College. The building has become the home of CFBU-FM, Brock University's campus radio station.
In the Summer of 2007, major interior renovations were made in various rooms. Some rooms received new flooring, bathroom fixtures, ceiling lights, wet and dry kitchenettes, and new paint. Renovations continue on the DSR's main lobby and exterior facade.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“We all participate in weaving the social fabric; we should therefore all participate in patching the fabric when it develops holes—mismatches between old expectations and current realities.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
